A Comparison of Piaget's and Kohlberg's Theories and Tests for Moral Judgment.

Rorvik, Harald

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v25 n3 p99-124 1981

Piaget's test for moral judgment is more influenced by the personal relationship to others than is Kohlberg's. Kohlberg's test seems to a larger extent to measure the subjects' norms and emotional reactions connected to internalization of norms. Moral behavior is more closely related to Kohlberg's measure.
